PSICOLOGIA CULTURAL, AUTOBIOGRAFIA E PESQUISAS EDUCACIONAIS: APLICAÇÕES EM CONTEXTO AMAZÔNICO

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the foundations of the autobiography in
Cultural Psychology proposed by Jerome Bruner and to disseminate research that
is being conducted in Amazonian school contexts based on this theoretical fra-
mework. We consider the proposed theme relevant because Cultural Psychology
is not widely used in Brazil and the adoption of research in this perspective allows
not only a more complete understanding of psychological functioning, but also
the understanding of social processes that differ in their nature from individu-
al functioning. The authors represent three generations of researchers who have
been using the foundations and methods of this theoretical-methodological ap-
proach in school contexts of the Legal Amazon.
